Scientists have grown in the laboratory artificial meat

Dutch scientists have grown in the laboratory an artificial muscle tissue. Notification of new work has appeared in the newspaper The Times.

Клетки, "praroditeli" the researchers took a piece of meat from live pigs. Experts have identified the so-called mioblasty - cells, which are calculated by dividing converted to "normal" cells of muscle tissue. The resulting biomaterial scientists cultivated in a special nutrient. As a result, the authors were able to get a new job layers of muscle tissue.

Currently, experts are working on technology that would allow them to "natrenuvaty" received the muscles to improve their performance. While the grown tissue, rather like spoiled meat.

Lab rules prohibit scientists received their food consumption. However, the authors believe that the taste qualities of artificial meat is not inferior to the present. Work on the muscle tissue in vitro were prosponsyrovany Dutch ruled lstvom and approved by companies that produce sausages and other processed meat products.

In favor of continuing research is supported vegetarians and environmentalists. According to the UN, farm animals, "responsible" for about 18 percent of methane emitted into the atmosphere. To strengthen the ability of this greenhouse gas far exceeds the famous "pest" - carbon dioxide.

Despite the obvious positive effects on the production of artificial meat, this practice, with some certainty, and may cause adverse effects. While this prospect is not studied.
